Once my home directory is set, can I change it?  In the 'Host Settings' it seems to be NON-changable.   How can  I make an adjustment?   Thanks in advance.

I'm assuming you mean the portals root directory? I'm not sure changing that would be possible, the magnitude of changing it could be fairly large depending on how 3rd party modules are referencing the directories.

The issue is this:

When uploading and linking to a file it does not link properly.  After looking into it I noticed that it was adding the file location relative to that particular page.  For Instance:
 
When clicking on the newsletter from:   
http://www.thisdomain.org/Home/tabid/101/Default.aspx
 
It would link the newsletter like this
http://www.thisdomain.org/Home/tabid/101/Portals/3Newsletters/Spring_2007_Final.pdf
 
as opposed to the file's actual location:
http://www.thisdomain.org/Portals/3/Newsletters/Spring_2007_Final.pdf
 
There were two things wrong:
 
1. the linking was relative to the location
2. the folder inside 'Portals' is titled '3' but a forward slash was not appearing after the '3'
 
A little investigating turned up this setting when you log in as a host:
Home Directory is set to:  Portals/3
 

I THINK it needs to be:  /Portals/3/

This only uses standard modules that came with DNN, namely the 'HTML/Text' module, the 'Repository' module, and the 'Calendar' module.

Would we need to make a duplicate portal, this time setting the 'Home Directory' correct?

 

Thanks again.

'Home Directory' was what I meant.  It can be found under the "Admin' pulldown under 'Site Settings' under the 'Advanced' section.  It is just not modifiable.

If that's all your trying to do, you could get into the Portals table in the database and probably modify the entry manually. I'm not sure that's your issue though, but it's worth a shot.
